Kansas corn farmers are invited to Kansas Corn’s summer listening tour, hosting dinners in four Kansas communities in August. Kansas Corn leaders and staff will focus on discussion around the issues that matter to corn growers and getting feedback from participants.
Growers can connect with Kansas Corn in Garnett, Iuka, Oberlin and Wamego. This is the ninth year of the dinners hosted by the Kansas Corn Growers Association and Kansas Corn Commission.
At each dinner, a panel of local farmers and Kansas Corn leaders will discuss key topics, including new on-farm technologies, the upcoming farm bill, ethanol efforts and commission-funded programs in the areas of market development, education, research and promotion. The goal of each stop is to get feedback from corn growers, which is valued by the association and commission boards in their planning.
Registration begins at 5:30 p.m., with dinner beginning at 6 p.m. at all locations. Sites are Aug. 8 at Garnett in Anderson County (east central); Aug. 12 at Iuka in Pratt County (south central); Aug. 15 at Oberlin in Decatur County (northwest); and Aug. 29 at Wamego in Pottawatomie County (northeast).
Attendees are asked to register for these summer events online at kscorn.com or by calling the Kansas Corn office at 785-410-5009.
